Trump prepares State of the Union address and continues trade war, Czech PM believes in peace
US President Donald Trump is preparing for the traditional State of the Union address, which he will deliver before both chambers of Congress. According to announcements, the speech will be long, and Trump will speak in it about the successes of his administration.
Chaos continues in the area of tariff policy. Today the United States began collecting a global ten-percent tariff on imports, which is a lower rate than Trump originally announced. This was his response to the decision of the US Supreme Court, which last week struck down his previous across-the-board tariffs. Trump has not yet signed the order to raise the rate to fifteen percent, which he announced over the weekend. The administration is also considering the introduction of additional tariffs in the interest of national security, which would differ from the ten-percent system.
In Europe, hopes are growing for a peaceful resolution of the conflict in Ukraine. Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš praised the American president's peace efforts and expressed his belief that Trump will bring the long-awaited peace. The former Czech prime minister took the same position, considering Russian aggression unjustifiable.
The American administration continues to block oil supplies to Cuba, and Canada is preparing a humanitarian aid plan for that country. In the area of national security, Iran remains the biggest flashpoint of dispute, where new rounds of nuclear negotiations are being prepared in Switzerland.
